Orly Airport Baggage System Failure Disrupts Flights to Morocco, Strands Luggage

A major breakdown in the baggage system at Orly airport suspended traffic on Thursday, August 3. This breakdown caused the baggage belts to stop, causing disorder and delays in forty flights, some to Morocco, affecting some 10,000 passengers.

The ADP group announced that the situation would be resolved quickly, but the incident left hundreds of suitcases piled up and manually transported to the planes.

Élia, a traveler bound for Morocco, testifies to her experience on the RTL microphone. She expresses her frustration at leaving without her luggage, while indicating that her belongings were at the airport: "We don’t even know if we’ll have our luggage in the next few days," she admits. Despite this unprecedented situation, she remains optimistic and does not think it will ruin her vacation, even if she admits that it is not the most pleasant situation.

The ADP group is actively working to resolve this problem. After a 12-hour outage, the system was repaired on Thursday evening. The company promises that the luggage will be sent to its owners as soon as possible. However, the question remains about the fate of the "mountain of luggage" left at Orly.
